【正文】 2 詢問他人過去的一些生活經(jīng)歷和所取得的成績。 Such a goal was impossible of achievement. 這樣的目標是不可能實現(xiàn)的。從而激發(fā)他們不斷進步，努力發(fā)掘自己的潛力。如： It’s never too old to learn. Encourage all the students to study hard from now on .等。 4. 從學生的生活實際和他們的興趣出發(fā)，展示出他們喜愛的明星的圖片，使他們愛學、樂學。主要是學習如何介紹自己的出生年，并學會如何詢問他人以及闡述自己的過去的經(jīng)歷。 4) Pick up several pairs to perform in front of the class. (To begin with the familiar structure to the students and teach the new structure naturally. And it will be easy for all the students to accept it and produce.) Step two 1. Show the students some pictures of the popular stars made by PowerPoint .Ask them “Do you like him/her?” and “When was he/she born?” 2. write the “Whe n was he/she born?” and” He /She was born?” on the blackboard” 3. Practice: 1) The teacher ask and the students answer one by one. 2) Four students a group and practice with each other. 3) Pick up several groups to act in front of class. 4) Listening prehension: Do 1b on page 59 and choose the right answers then check the answers. (The new structure will be consolidated by this practice.) (The students are very interested in popular stars and also know them well. So they are ready to talk about this topic on them. This structure is more difficult than the first one so the students will not feel bored.) Step three 1. Compare Pan we bo and me to lead to the structure “I started learning English when I was 12 years old. “Write it on the blackboard .And ask the students “When did you start learn ing English?” 2. Write the structure on the blackboard and underline “start doing” and tell the students to pay more attention to the phrase and learn how to use it. 3. Work in pairs. Tell your partner your own experiences in the past with the patterns: I started learning English when I was12 years old. 4. Show the students more verbs on the screen and ask them to make more sentences with these words or other words they want. For example: 1).play puter games 2).do homework 3).read books 4).play basketball 5).cook 6).clean my house. 5. Show the students a passage and ask them to say something about themselves. I am a teacher. I am 14 years old. I started going to school when I was 6 years old. I started learning English when I was 12 years old. I like English very much. And I started cleaning my room when I was 8 years old. Give the students 5 minutes to make up a new small passage according to the example. (This step is based on the first two steps . After teaching the new words and the simple sentences, the children need something more difficult. Moreover, most students are very poor in writing, so we offer them a chance to make up a passage . This activity will help the kids improve their position.) Step four 1. Show some pictures of famous persons with some phases and ask the students to make sentences similar to “He started golfing when he was 17 years old.” 2. Practice in groups by using the new pictures and phrases given. 3. Blankfilling: I_____(be) a student. My name _____(be) Lily. I started _____(learn) English when I _____(be) 12 years old. And my best friend ______(be) Lucy. She started _____(read) English books when she _____(be) 7 years old. (The practice between the different personals will help the students distinguish them.) Step five 1. Show the students the picture of Zhao Lirong and Tang Jiezhong 2. Tell them that “Zhao Lirong started acting when she was 55 years old.” And “Tang Jiezhong started to acting when he was 50 years old.” But they are very famous now. So “It’s never too old to learn.” 3. Encourage all the students to study hard from now on . Homework 1. Copy the new words in the exercise books. 2. Do exercise 1c . 課后反思 在上完這堂課后，我的收獲還是很多的。 導入形式新穎，能從學生熟悉的句型 “How old are you ?” 入手 ,學生容易接受 ,把知識的難度降到了最低 ,消除了學生的懼怕心理。 Tom 太累了不能跑了。 另外， start還有 開動、發(fā)動、創(chuàng)辦、出發(fā) 等詞義。例如： What39。 Tom 太累了不能跑了。它與一般疑問句的區(qū)別在于：它不能用 yes 或 no來回答。 eg: The old men started singing / to sing. 老人們開始唱歌。2b 1.
